i V 'This invention relates to locomotives and the power generating system which is emmore particularlyto locomotives having turbine engines as the main propelling means. This invention has for its object generally, to provide an improved construction and arrangement of parts which is eflicient, economical and relativelyeasily manufactured.

More specifically, an object of this invention is to provide a locomotive with an im proved construction adapted to 'yielda machine hav-ing a high over-all efiiciency; and which, in order to facilitate manufacture, maintenance and repairing, employs the unit principle of construction. 7 Another object is'to provide a locomotive with organs, including a condenser, operating in accordance with an improved heat cycle, and also to provide for the operation of auxiliaries lIlBll economical manner without interfering inv any way with the operation or efliciency of the main propelling -means. 7 y Other objects of the invention will in part be obvious and will in part appear hereinafter.

The invention accordingly comprises the.

features of construction, combinations of elements, and arrangement of parts, which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter 3 set forth and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the claims. For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention reference should be had to the foliowingdetailecl description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:

Fig. 1 shows in s1de elevation. a locomotive constructed in accordance with the invention;

Figs. 2 and 3 are respectivelyfront and Y rear elevations of the locomotive shown in I Fig. 1';

Fig. e is a sidefelevation of theframe for the locomotive; a

Fig. 5 is a top plan view of the frame showan aukili r ortion thereof in detach d mg a y P e largedview of the engine-unit as it appears with the auxiliary frame when removed from relation to the main portion, while Figs. 6 and 7 are respectively plan and sectional views of the front truck which is attached to'the frame; g Fig. 8 is a view mainly in section, showing ployed in the invention;

a fragmentary section taken on the line v no i of the type here used in .connection 'with the stoker unit;

Fig. 9 shows the boiler unit in. side elevation with the electric generating unit for supplyingpower to the auxiliaries in detached relation thereto, while Fig. 10 and Fig. 11 are vertical sections thereof taken respectively on the lines A.-A and B- -B, looking in the direction of the arrows;

Fig. 12 is a sectional view of thefront-topplate which fits over the boiler unit in the neighborhood of the stack, F 13 being'a section thereof taken on the line C-C, looking in the direction of the arrowsf Fig. 14 is a schematic view, parts being broken away, showing the operative relation of the several organs of the power system; I

Fig. 1-5 is a view partly in section and partlyin elevation of one of the condenser units employed in the power system of the invention, while Figs. 16 and 17 are horizontal'and vertical sections thereof taken respectively on the lines DD and E. E, looking in. the direction of the arrows; 1

Fig. 18 is an enlarged fragmentary view partly in section and partly in elevation of the auxiliary condensate collecting chamber here employed in connection with a condenser unit; g

Figs. 19--and 20'arerespectively enlarged elevational and sectional views of the con-. denser tubes employed in the condenser units of the invention;

Fig. 21 is an enlarged fragmentary view partly in section and partly in elevation showing details in the construction of the stoker unit here employed, while Fig. 22 is in Fig. 21;

Fig. 23 is an enlarged detailed view, mainly in section, showing a draft-inducing nozzle Fig. 2t'shows, in side elevation, an enthe locomotive proper and having the main.

. turbineand the gear-casing in place;
